Our Russian for Kids Go ONLINE!
- If you are too busy to go to our face-to-face class or traveling to class is an issue for you, this online class is a great solution.
- This is also the perfect option for those kids who want to study Russian but have found there were not sufficient student numbers to run a course in your local area.
- The parents could join the class with just an extra $80 for each parent!
- The advantage of this online class is your kids can always watch it again in their own time during the week before you meet your teacher again.
- One of the great advantages of an online group tutorial is that it is not a pre-recorded lesson, you will meet and interact with a teacher and be able to ask those critical questions in real-time as in a traditional classroom. By expanding the course to include 4 students we are also able to keep the costs down
